You either let all men, who so wish, pretend to be women in all areas of life and law, or you don’t.

Bearing in mind that this bloke that S_L linked to is a convicted sex offender and is serving a suspended prison sentence, what sort of jail do you think he should be sent to - a men's prison or a women's prison?

It’s a bloke, so men’s nick.

He says he's a girl so will probably get plenty of action up the tradesmans in the men's nick.

Mmmm. If you are going to let him pretend to be a woman in all areas of life and law then shirley he/she/it should go to a woman's prison.

It's a bit of a problem for the authorities I guess. Put him in a men's prison and he'll probably get attacked; put him in a woman's prison and women inmates may get attacked.

What a fine mess.

Why would I let him do that?

Why is he in more danger than other revolting sex criminals?

He doesn’t have to pretend to be a woman when he’s in jail. Or any other time.

Sometimes guys, we need more faceplants.

Let's wind it in hey.

Only on RTTL would people get hung up on the gender identity of the criminal, rather than the criminal act.

I'm sure the victim here really cared what the person flashing their bits chose to call themselves

This is a long long way from the worst forum.

Why do you think a flasher story made the paper?

They have already tried putting them in women's prisons, it ended as you'd expect.

The mind boggles.

Frank Spencer to be knighted.

Will he say ‘Ooh Betty’ when Liz touches the sword on his shoulders?

So long as he doesn’t do a whoopsy.

BDad used to 'commute' to Brussels - well, he lived there for work and came back every second weekend to take us out for the weekend.

This happened no long after that time and close enough that it hit me hard just thinking that it could have happened to him (he still went to Brussels regularly but car/boat). It was, as Potter says, harrowing to read

If I remember rightly (from what he said) it wasn't unusual to set sail without the doors fully closed

[David]

I went frm anglesey the weekend after for a telly thing, and the doors were open as we started out.

[Felix]

I passed my test the year before so thankfully the closed doors rules were well in place before i started to cross over by ferry to Euroland.

It still makes me nervous everytime I use the ferries cross channel. I have zero faith that humans learn from mistakes, so just don't look as it was my only way to cross channel - I have used the chunnel since and it's ok, but has other worries for someone that is quite claustrophobic - I'm ok in most ways but being in a tunnel under a lot of water pushes quite a few buttons in my brain!!

IIRC they took RoRo ferries to the Falklands, carrying military vehicles. But before sailing, they had bulkheads/baffles fitted inside to reduce the likelihood of them capsizing should water have got into the load area.

That was 1982.
